Spec Sheet

Description

For their updated take on a grand dining table, designers Anya Sebton and Eva Lilja Löwenhielm were inspired by a onetime exhibition of columns at Paris' Palais Royale. With "the elegance and luxury from past tense,“ says Anya, "we have chosen to play with a semi-circular profile that creates a beautiful relief together with a pure Scandinavian expression.” The table's weighted columnar base is fashioned with solid-oak panels while the tabletop has a corresponding solid-oak edge in the same color. Surface options include polyurethane-finished stained oak or several choices of a high-performance matte nano-laminate. Crafted in Sweden for innovative Stockholm-based maker Asplund.

“Small details are more important in simple minimalist design, because you see every line,” says Sandra Adrian Asplund, creative director at the eponymous Stockholm-based furniture brand. The brothers Asplund—Michael, an art dealer, and Thomas, a banker—originally teamed up to open a gallery that treated furnishings as works of fine art. When their vision took off, Sandra joined the team as creative head (and later spouse of Thomas) to develop a collection in a style they dub “Friendly Minimalism” that has grown into an internationally acclaimed design leader.

A warmer take on iconic Swedish minimalism, the Asplund look is similarly grounded in functionality and and hews to an ethos of sustainably. “Natural materials often require a bit of love and care, but in return, they age beautifully and last a lifetime,” says Sandra. Carefully produced in Sweden with environmentally friendly processes and a large measure of hand craftsmanship, Asplund goods are contemporary heirlooms, she says. “Unless every inch is perfect, it is not good enough.”
